Hi Friends,Join me as I discuss some the ways I have experienced and seen that the Church can hurt.It goes beyond offenses...and can affect how we see Christ and we see ourselves in Him!

Hi Friends, No one likes to suffer...if you do, let me know. I got a good therapist for you. All jokes aside, suffering comes whether we like it or not. So what is at the other side of that suffering? What is the fruit of that time? Can we say like Joseph that "...God has made me fruitful in the land of my suffering"?

Hi Friends! What if the woman with the issue of blood from Mark 5 thought her healing wasn't worth pushing past the crowd to Jesus? It wouldn't have only affected her life, but ours as well. How many millions of people have received such breakthroughs because of HER story?! What "crowd" is keeping you from receiving YOUR story of healing with Jesus? Have you ever thought that you not pushing through is also affecting the story of others in your life, people you love, people God has appointed to you? Listen in and let's identify your crowd! Make a decision today to push past it! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lizteach/support

Hi Friends! Anxiety seems to be plaguing so many people. It's affecting their lives, the lives of people they love, their jobs, etc. Mental health issues are no longer stigmatized, but are we too comfortable making it our identity? Isn't it time to get to the core of our anxiety issue so we can live thriving lives, abundant lives instead of just surviving? Listen in as I share what has helped me continue to overcome my battle with anxiety.

Hi Friends! The Bible says in 1 John 5:14-15: "And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him." So let's CONFIDENTLY pray for our children! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lizteach/support

Hi Friends! So I've got a WORD!!! This might not be what you WANT to hear, but it's what you NEED to hear. I know I did. This is for anyone that has been praying for someone to be saved over and over and over again... It's time to let go! It's time to not be distracted by it anymore!

Hi Friends, You may be asking yourself, what is a prodigal spirit? I know asked myself the same thing when the Lord first dropped that in my spirit a couple months ago. Many have heard the story of the Prodigal Son found in Luke 15 and many of us are praying for the prodigals we love to come home to the Father as well. But could it be that even though we have physically come back to the Father's house, our heart reveals something else? Listen in as I share what the Lord has showed me and let's make sure we release that prodigal spirit from our heart and minds! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lizteach/support

Hi Friends! Parenting?!?! Phew...am I right? I don't think parenting has ever been more challenging than in the world we live in right now. Our children NEED us more than ever. Listen in as I share with you four things they need for us.

Hi Friends! Knowing who you are matters! We think we know who we are, but in reality could be living out a lie that we were told long ago. And now that lie is being told to our children and children's children. The identity of our children, our teens is being assaulted on a daily basis. They need us to get it together so we can help them. I pray as you listen in, that you will be empowered by who you really are meant to be! It's in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. Long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up, he had his eye on us, had designs on us for glorious living, part of the overall purpose he is working out in everything and everyone.

Hi Friends! As I publish this episode, I think of the Beatles Song: Help! The lyrics say "Help, I need somebody, not just anybody"... I am hoping this episode will be the help you need if your heart is feeling overwhelmed today. I recently had a moment of feeling just complete despair. My heart was holding too much. I get it!!! This episode includes a prayer for you and your children that I believe can enable you to receive some breakthrough, in Jesus' name. I pray that what I share will help you know where to go in your time of need. You are not alone. "Hear my cry, O God! Attend to my prayer. From the end of the earth I will cry to You when my heart is overwhelmed"... --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lizteach/support

Hi Friends, Today my podcast is about spiritual leadership. I talk about areas that I've struggled with, learned from, been humbled in and repented. If we want our ministries to be fruitful, we need to recognize when it's time to repent. Sometimes our own lack of repentance is what is not allowing God's promises be fulfilled! Listen in and share. Let's repent, heal and be fruitful in our leadership. Let's sow into and produce other leaders that will bless and not hurt. "The authority by which the Christian leader leads is not power but love, not force but example, not coercion but reasoned persuasion. Leaders have power, but power is safe only in the hands of those who humble themselves to serve.-John Stott Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.-Acts 20:28 Only people of proven character should be placed in positions of spiritual leadership.

Hi Friends! Are you different? Different than what? Well, as Christians, we are meant to stand out. We are meant to show this world that there's a better option.

Hi Friends! So there are things that we say and repeat over and over that actually make no sense and aren't true. As a Christian, I have said things that sound right, sound good, make me feel good, but aren't biblical and actually harm my relationship with God and others. So in this episode, I confront five of those lies. Soooo....I quote scripture and often get references wrong, so I'm putting the references here. You'll understand as you listen. Thank God for grace.

Hi Friends! Has God failed me? Liz, have you lost your mind? How can you ask such a thing? Well, if we're honest, as I have had to be in my life, there are moments in our life where we feel God has not come through for us. And if we don't wrestle with that, figure that out, surrender it to God, the faith that we need to get us through circumstances will not grow.

Hi Friends, On this Father's Day, I wanted to share my heart on fathers and how we need them. As a single woman whose had to raise children after their father died, I have seen this first hand.

But most of all, to love and appreciate the fathers that are present and your Heavenly Father. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lizteach/support

Hi Friends! How much pleading, begging, and cajoling is necessary to get a person to change? Should you even be pleading, begging, and cajoling? Are they even listening to our needs? Do they even care how their behavior affects us? Are they EVER going to change? This episode is just a small glimpse into what I have learned regarding the reasons why people do or do not change. Hope this gives you some tools to move forward. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lizteach/support
